I'm wondering if there was even the capability to strike one in anything but pewter in America in 1776. You'd need a hefty, 200+ ton medal press...
You only chance at a grade higher than 62 is on the 89, and from the picture it looks like an outside chance. If you really want them graded,...
First, you can't grade proofs in higher grades from good pictures, much less bad, oversaturated ones. 1950 proof Franklins are often more...
The 22 VAM 5A is a great variety, and that's what you have. The crack on the 22 VAM 2BB is a very common shape for a crack on a Peace dollar, but...
